The Historic Elgin Hotel is a beautifully restored 19th-century limestone boutique hotel located in the heart of Marion, Kansas.

The hotel offers twelve uniquely designed suites with private en-suite bathrooms, Smart TVs, plush robes, and select rooms featuring whirlpool bath tubs. Guests can enjoy inviting communal spaces, including cozy parlors, a game lounge, fitness center, and scenic veranda, as well as on-site dining at Parlour 1886, known for thoughtfully prepared meals and weekend brunches in a historic setting.

Nearby Marion County Lake and Marion Reservoir provide opportunities for fishing, boating, hiking, and stargazing amid wide-open prairie landscapes.
